The reality is that men (and their wives) tend not to vote for Democrats. This is a major turnaround from the political reality of my childhood.
It is critically important that we figure out what is wrong, without resorting to comforting stereotypes.
Reagan drove a wedge between "hard working folks" and "welfare queens". With Mitt Romney, we now have an opportunity to drive the wedge between "hard working folks" and "vampire capitalists". Putting the wedge between men and women is not a good practice because we'll come out on the losing end to the coalition of men and the women whose family wellbeing is dependent on them.
Consider the below graph a Rorschach test.
This is suicide rates for various demographics. If your response to the graph is any permutation of "I guess men are just violent" or "they simply can't accept their loss of privilege to gays/women/minorities " or "but whatcha gonna do?"
... then you're part of the problem.
